Maybe for 33s? 34 big movement (full teams switching clubs was the rumor, ie, HOCO trying to go HOCO—>M&D) seems to be shut down. MDU seems to be falling apart at many age groups and possibly the 34 and 33 are two of them?

I do think this is the age where you will see some movement within teams. Especially after this heated season. I am curious as to why Hoco 34 is creating a white team though. While 34 black is doing amazing their 34 pink team didn't fair well this past weekend and their 35 black team who was in the same division as 34 pink dominated the competition and won the championship. Why build another team if your pink team isn't dominating as well ? Also how does that even work with having 3 teams. Don't all teams only have 1-2 teams per age group?

Technically M&D now has more than that per age group if you group M&D main, M&D DC and M&D Shore? Just a matter of semantics?

What? It’s not the same at all. M&D Shore and DC and Orlando and Minneapolis are in entirely different locales and they are not B and C and D and E teams of the original M&D.

A HOCO White team is for $$$. I have no real info but my guess is that two rec teams and coaches wanted something more then rec going into 5th grade (where rec falls apart) but somehow didn’t want to split up and try out for Pink (which seems odd). HOCO said sure we’ll take your money and curate a schedule and experience for a C team.

Girls lacrosse clubs don’t do this that I’ve seen. Hero’s could get enough if they wished. This is more a soccer club model. SAC has layers upon layers of teams. Since HOCO has a unique connection to the county rec program, they appear to be leveraging for any advantage they can get and for more coaches and players and ultimately $$.

Why do you care so much? Sounds like it's gonna be a terrible team, if parents want to pay for that and there is a coach wanting to coach it, have at it.

Right, nobody actually cares bc we are taking about hoco. That program sucks, just hoodrats and rednecks. I have seen the 2034 team play, they have 3 girls who can take it to the cage from midfield, why are people pretending as if they are coached well? If the coach was any good, that team would be learning to share the ball bc the hero stuff stops working soon. Will they come back here and apologize for being so annoying when they are relegated to the lower tiers within the next year or so?

Yes! Rednecks and Hoodrats. That’s the best compliment. So proud to be a HOCO redneck!!

The HoCo White team is actually better than the Black team, they are flying in a bunch of girls from Long Island, they are all 5th graders who are repeating.

Didn’t M&D do this with their 2028 team. They had Black & Red and had a crew interested in making a team so they called it “West”. Always okay when King M&D does it but if it’s not their idea, it’s “not what youth lacrosse does”.

Agreed - the split personality of the M&D fan is rather worrisome!!

This HOCO parent (and coach) is annoying and always trying to incite and pick a fight. Go away!

HoCo 34 plays better team lacrosse than any club in the division

Yes, guess that’s close enough. Don’t blame people for not recalling that West team exists.

Agree that was dumb. It’s confusing and they aren’t competitive.

The M&D 28 West team is just a HoCo team that defected

M&D hasn’t had a West team for any other age group

The Hoco White team may be similar, in that it is just a response to a specific request to take on two rec teams that wanted to combine and continue to play beyond what rec can offer at 5th grade.

I am not connected to Hoco at all but just my guess based on the announcement of the coaches and team.

Whether they do it again may depend on if they start recruiting these “older” rec teams to come over as a win-win. Not great to cannibalize rec but I think it already falls apart for lacrosse at 4th grade.

Right. The point is it happens.

It doesn’t really happen. Total anomaly (or possible start of a hoco club trend and director strategy), which is why people are noting it and wondering what it is.

[Anonymous]

They should reach out and ask the director, instead of chatter on a forum and coming up with alternate misguided ideas. You all love to talk about HOCO but don’t want to hear from the HOCO directly. Sounds like middle school drama.

So smart of HOCO. I heard they had over 60 prospects and didn’t even have their black team there. They can elevate their pink team while adding a developmental team. It will help close the gap between Pink & Black. I’m sure it’s just the 2034 age because that team is so far ahead of the pack. Makes sense to me.
